In a recent UEFA Nations League match, Austria under Ralf Rangnick crushed Norway 5-1. Fans of Manchester United can't help but wonder what might have been if Rangnick had stayed at Old Trafford. Rangnick, who briefly managed United, has been making waves with the Austrian national team. Since taking the helm in April 2022, he's won 17 out of 30 games, including a dominant victory over Norway. The match in Linz was a showcase of Austria's prowess. Marko Arnautovic scored twice, with Alexander Sorloth netting one for Norway. The Austrians sealed the deal with goals from Philipp Lienhart, Stefan Posch, and Michael Gregoritsch. The stats tell a clear story: Austria dominated with 66% possession and 16 shots on target. Fans took to social media to express their disappointment that United didn't stick with Rangnick's plan. One fan tweeted, "Not keeping Rangnick was a mistake. " Another praised his coaching skills, "Rangnick is unbelievable. " Some fans even believe that if Rangnick had been given more time, United could have been one of the best teams in the country.
